Hi Guys, I've received my first Invoice (around RM45K) from Developer around mid of Oct 2012, and they send me a 2nd reminder by end of Oct 2012 requesting for payments, with the due dates by 1st week of Nov 2012. I'm kind of surprised on this, as both the S&P and Bank Loan Agreements are signed at the Sales office by early of Oct 2012, and the person from Solicitor told me that they will need 1 month for S&P, and 3 Months for bank loan agreement on the stamping and etc...

I tried to check with the developer on this, but they told me to ignore it. When I try to contact the person in charge at Akisama office, he told me that we are only given 90 days of grace period for interest-free (from the first day we make the booking), and the buyer will need to pay for the late-payment charges after the grace period(10% p.a. based on the Invoice). I did explained to them that both the S&P and Bank Loan Agreements are not even ready yet by the solicitor (which is the panel from developer), and it's kind of unfair for them to bill me the invoice at this stage. I've also tried to contact the bank, and they told me that they can't arrange for payment as the Bank Loan Agreement is not ready yet.

The answer that I get from the developer is that I can either arrange to make payment by myself, and then later request for refund after the payment is settle by bank, or I will have to chase the Solicitor to speed-up the agreements. Guess what is the answer that I get after I contacted the Solicitor... They told me that there is a process to follow, which is 3 months time, and it's impossible for them to prepare the Bank Loan Agreements in 1 to 2 months time, due to the slow process in govern... and also the Public Holidays by year end. I found that this is completely not acceptable at all!!!   

The conclusion now is Developer tried to say that it's not their fault as there is a process in their system to follow on the invoice and payments, and lawyer firm told me that they also have their own process to follow on the stamping and preparation of agreements. From my point of view, it seems to me that the developer might already have some sort of agreement with the Lawyer firm (which is their panel) to take time on preparing the Agreements. The funny part here is that why other lawyer firm with Sime Darby can settle all the agreements within 1 month time, but not the Laywer firm with this developer? During my previous purchase with Sime Darby, their panel solicitor can prepare everthing for me in 1 month time.

Does anyone encounter the same issue with me? Anyone knows where we can address this issue? I can't seem to find the correct category to address my issue with kpdnkk via the e-aduan. Now I feel like I'm a ping pong ball between the developer & solicitor, and it seems like there is no way for me to escape from paying the interest for late-charges. Haiz... 

As far as i concern, the interest for late payments will be calculated by their system automatically, and we will know the exact amount during the time when they are handling over the complete unit to us. Although they did told me that we can write-in to them on the request to waive for the late payment charges, but i doubt it that later they might be giving us tons of reason that they cannot waive it for us. I've emailed both the developer & solicitor few times, and so far there is only a short reply from developer, yet no reply at all from the solicitor. If you call them, they will explain their process to you, but there is nothing much that they can do to help us, and they are reluctant to reply our email. Not sure whether they have the concern that we will use the email as black & white at the later days.

Their panel is SheahTan&Rahman. Yah, I told them that we are using the solicitor which is their panel, and this is completely out of our control. The only answer that i get from them is to call up the solicitor more frequently, and the Invoice for payment will still continue. Haiz... Kepala pun pusing. 

Now I'm kind of Curious as it seems like I'm the only person who encontered such issue with the purchase of Service Apartment at Parklane OUG? Anyone else having the same problem? Perhaps we can write-in as a group to log a complaint? Hehe.

Thanks for the FB Link.

But the developer told me that the grace period starts from the first day i make my booking, which is early of Sept 2012. So they will start to charge me the late payments from Dec 2012 onwards, and solicitor said that bank loan agreement will be out in 3 months time, which is mid or end Jan 2012.

As per my last experience with another developer, the grace period will start from the day when we sign the S&P, but this developer's grace period start from date when booking fee is paid. 

361k.
Block B1 and B2 are the middle towers. Facing inside 1, either facing front or back only.
Too bad right now all car parks are sold out.
My concern right now is the parking. 1 car park definitely not enough...

that unit is 359k. but I took DIBS, now wondering should i take it onot.

I have bought one also! Hehe!
High Density?? Jammed? All I know is Haters gonna hate!   

Ordered a unit at block E3. Loan only left ambank, rhb and uob (not sure quota full di or not), which one better?

They cant finish selling.. Coming up with incentives but seems like agents are driving away customers.

Went there 2 months ago and experienced the same. The security guards were super corteous but the agents could not careless if you were there. The untrained big house agents are really spoiling the market. Akisama own staffs are good.

One caution to all... Sand brick is specified on the spa. Not clay brick. This is not good for our warm weather but seems like developer is cutting cost.

I went to their sales office today. I saw 3 developer staffs were chatting and laughing upside down, at that time, there were actually a few visitors around but they were so enjoying their own gossips and forgot that they are actually working! Of course, they were not servicing us as well. In fact, this time is our second visit and we were ready to pay our deposit. However, my gf and I walked here and there for more than 30 mins but non of them approach us! NVM, I called one of them, and ask whether we can withdrawal EPF for downpayment and related issues. FXCK MAN, this fxcking developer staff looked at me like an alien and said: "You don't have 8K to settle for downpayment?" I corrected him that I am asking can they wait us to withdraw EPF for downpayment after signing S&P, but you are not answering my question?   

In the end, he didn't answer my question and didn't even care to entertain me anymore, walked away and continue chatting with his friends and colleagues. 

WTF? I walked away and say GOODBYE TO PARKLANE OUG.

Developer offering additional incentives, does it mean that sales are slow? Anybody know the latest sales status.

Sales Status

[attachmentid=3241520][attachmentid=3241530][attachmentid=3241531][attachmentid=3241546][attachmentid=3241534][attachmentid=3241536]

Hi all, something regarding the penalty to ask about..

I hand in my documents for bank loan application on 25th Dec. But until now no banker called me yet. So i called up the sales office on last friday 4th Jan to check the status. The agent telling me that the bankers from RHB just collected my document that day, while UOB and AmBank haven't. So likely i'll wait another week before I get any loan offer.

Question is i'm not sure this will make me late for the SPA or not. I asked the agent and she mentioned that the date is calculated from the banker's collection date, which is what i'm not sure of.

Based on the original submission date, next Tuesday will be the 2 weeks dateline, i'm kinda worried that i'll be charge for late penalty. Anyone can shed a light on this? Thanks

I don't know how to deal with bankers directly since my document is still not collected yet. I can simply called to the bank and ask? or i need to give specific names?

4000 over units is a lot of units and can still achieve 80% sales. Seems property market is not weakening.

2 years to release Phase 1, 2 and 3. Phase 3 was just launched late last year.

In a separate note, I'm signing S&P today for phase 3, developer just called yesterday and ask to come over

oh wow! the bighouse sales agent lied to me. Said block A2 just launched last september...hmmm. Block A2 is phase 2 right?

There's once I'm from Old Klang heading back to Puchong via Jalan Puchong around 5.45pm and think that it wont be so bad and it turn out to be one of my worst nightmare as from the interchange of OKR to reach Puchong Jaya takes me nearly 1 hour! The jam seems happened once you turn into Jalan Puchong fm OKR and the traffic crawl or most of the time not even moving all the way to Bandar Puchong Jaya. And I couldn't imagine how that area will become once Parklane is ready which is exactly the hotspot where the jam is stuck and causing the heavy traffic all the way in Jalan Puchong. And Akisama happily busying counting money building 4,000 units at this vicinity without caring the public staying at this area.

I remember when I was at their show room, an uncle asked big house staff: Assume 4000+ units each with only 1 car, what will happen to Jalan Puchong?

I still can remember the big house staff is a lady, and she don't know how to answer him, just said: Well, we cannot control about Jalan Puchong.

Big House staffs not able to answer this question? How did they sell so many units?
